Chapter 1564

"Gu Qing, wait a moment. Let me first test whether anyone else can use it."

"Mm, here you go."

Gu Qing handed over the heavy World Stone. Zhao Chi didn't waste a single instant and immediately dashed out.

He found Tang Ruan in the Phantom Martial Room.

Zhao Chi swept past one bare, fair body after another, scooped up Tang Ruan—who was practicing in the Phantom Martial Room—and Tang Ruan was forcibly disconnected.

"Huh? My lord, what's wrong? Have the enemies attacked?"

"Not enemies. Try this—see if you can use it. But don't actually use it yet."

Tang Ruan's adorable, pretty face looked at Zhao Chi in confusion.

Her little head clearly hadn't yet woken up from the practice in the Phantom Martial Room.

But she didn't need to think about Zhao Chi's words—whatever Zhao Chi told her to do, she would do.

She took the World Stone.

Tang Ruan shook her head: "My lord, it doesn't work. No reaction."

"Try a few more times. See if you can use it like a Speed-Work Talisman or medicine."

"... Still no good. It's just like a stone—absolutely no reaction."

"Understood. Where's Qi Yue?"

"She should be at Carefree Spring, I think? I'm not entirely sure. Shall I go find her for you?"

"No need. I'll go myself. You keep practicing."

Zhao Chi rushed out at once.

A few naked beauties were knocked askew as he brushed past them.

Zhao Chi carried them back to their original positions and left swiftly.

Tang Ruan was even more confused.

But she knew there was surely nothing wrong, so she continued challenging the Rock Screen along with his 200 werewolves.

Tang Ruan lay down, her two big round softness spreading slightly, trembling.

In no time her breathing became even.

Tang Ruan entered training once more.

Zhao Chi immediately found Qi Yue and Zhuang Ya next, but the two of them likewise couldn't use it.

Zhao Chi then found Wei Leng, Xia Yan, Feng Xiu, and other female squad leaders, as well as quite a few female villagers to try, but none of them could use it.

So...

Only Gu Qing could use it.

What the hell is going on?

Whatever the reason, let her try first.

Zhao Chi quickly pulled Gu Qing into a room at Phoenix Chant Tower.

The two sat facing each other.

This was probably the first time the two of them had been in a dressing room wearing clothes.

Gu Qing started to undress the moment she entered, but Zhao Chi stopped her.

"Gu Qing, you use it."

Zhao Chi didn't waste words and directly handed over the World Stone.

"My lord, are you sure? I know this thing is very precious—I'm afraid of wasting it."

"It won't be wasted. If the use fails, I can still use it. If it succeeds, you'll have a territory of your own."

Gu Qing clearly had zero interest in having a territory of her own.

That wasn't what she was worried about.

"My lord, what I mean is... I don't have your kind of ability. I can't gather all kinds of bonuses into one place. If I use this World Stone, it'll only be the same as an ordinary person's World Stone."

Zhao Chi understood.

What Gu Qing meant was the data during territory creation—things like plant growth speed, mineral content, and so on.

Of course Gu Qing couldn't transfer data; she couldn't transfer all the bonuses over.

But those bonuses, while nice to have, didn't matter if they weren't there. They weren't important.

"It doesn't matter, Gu Qing. Just go ahead and do it—open up a territory."

"Alright, my lord. Are you really sure?"

"I'm sure. Activate it."

"Okay."

Gu Qing held the World Stone in both hands, a crystalline shimmer flickering in her pupils.

Seven-colored light blazed to life, bathing the entire room in a riot of color.

She really could use it!

A moment later, all the light projected into Gu Qing's body, and her pupils turned seven-colored as well.

The next second, Gu Qing asked: "My lord, the system is asking me to set the climate. How should I set it?"

Gu Qing was better suited to choose temperate.

Cold-zone plant growth speed would be -20%, tropical-zone mineral generation speed would be -20%. Since Gu Qing couldn't transfer data, temperate—with neither boost nor penalty—was the most suitable.

"Gu Qing, just choose 'Temperate,' 'Mountain,' and 'Grassland.'"

"Okay~"

With Zhao Chi's instructions, Gu Qing quickly finished the setup.

"My lord, there are 100 allocation points. Which one should I pick?"

If it were Zhao Chi, he could transfer allocation points directly, but Gu Qing had no way to do so, so he let it be.

"Pick two Dahe rivers, encircling the territory's perimeter."

"Understood."

Soon, Gu Qing finished the setup.

"My lord, the last thing is the naming. What would be a good name?"

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "This is something that's always given me the biggest headache. I won't bother with it—you decide."

"Me? This is the territory's name. Is it appropriate for me to decide?"

"Of course it's appropriate. This is your territory. Just name it yourself."

Gu Qing shook his head: "How can this be my territory? It's yours too, my lord."

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. You're mine, that's enough. I'm not good at naming, so I won't rack my brain over it."

Gu Qing also laughed and said, "Of course, I am always yours, my lord. Then let me think…"

A moment later, Gu Qing said, "My lord, it's already been named. I'll send it to you to have a look."

【Territory Information】:

【Name】 Qingsi Village

【Subordinate to】 Zhao Chi

【Belongs to】 Gu Qing

【Village Chief】 Gu Qing

【Level】 Small Village

【Population】 1 person

It really was successfully established.

But this name…

Qingsi Village?

It's a little strange.

Gu Qing's name plus the ability she's skilled in?

That works too, I suppose.

It's just a title anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Gu Qing laughed and said, "My lord, is this name acceptable?"

"It's fine, very fitting for you. I think it sounds quite nice."

"Hehe, really? Then that's good."
